Hey girls! Tonight I just feel like talking about some random things.
I've finally received my Rebecca Minkoff bag, I've ordered it from Nordstrom and I couldn't wait for it to arrive. It actually didn't take that long to arrive to Italy BUT it took DHL's courier two days to find my house. Yes, two days.

This is my first Essie nailpolish and I chose such a bright, neon shade!
Well I didn't, I chose the usual beige-brownish color, this particular shade it's called Chincilly.
I have to say I like this formula but I really prefer Opi's one, maybe it's just because I'm more used to it.
Do you like Essie nailpolishes?

My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell.
I bought this book because I just fell in love with the cover. I knew that this book had a great success but I just wasn't interested. But when I saw the cover it just had to mine!
Ok, digression over, let's go back to the book.
I don't usually laugh out loud when I read a book, even if it's really funny.
This is one of those rare exceptions.
It's a semi-autobiographical novel and it talks about the Durrell's family relocation to Corfù.
The whole story is narrated by Gerald's point of view, a 10 years old boy with a great interest in nature.
The books is a sum of comical anecdotes that include every person in Gerry's family and even his private tutors.
But this book it's not only something that will make you laugh: it has a lot of amazing nature descriptions, you'll almost feel like you're in Greece with the crazy Durrell family.
This book had a cinematographic transposition -actually, it had two: one in 1989 and one in 2005- but I haven't seen it yet.
Have you read this book?
Did you ever buy a book for its cover?

I saw Kiko's Lavish Oriental collection again and I finally chose what to get.
I was mainly attracted to the Pure Pleasure Creamy Blushes, they all look so gorgeous!
I chose Firebrick Twist, a reddish shade that it's quite unique in my blush collection.
I wanted to get a Lavish Lip Creamy Lipgloss, yet another product similar to Clinique's Chubby Stick, but I just couldn't decide the shade and left them all there.
When I first saw the Smoky Eyes Pencils I wasn't really interested but when I swatched Graphite I had to buy it, it's a beautiful grey that I think I'll use a lot.
Have you seen this collection yet? Do you like it?

I've never tried Burt's Bees products, I decided to start my experience with the brand with this hand salve that I'll probably use in the cold weather.
I can't wait for autumn to start, this super hot summer is starting to bother me.
I know, I'm one of those annoying persons that complain about summer. But, in my defense, I rarely complain about winter!
Only when I'm on the train and there's no heating on. And it's snowing. Inside the train.
I swear it actually happened.
Have you tried Burt's Bees products?

I bought just a couple of Essence products, I wanted to give a closer look to everything but I didn't manage to do so.
Coin's -an italian department store-sale assistans are so rude that I just wanted to run out of there.
I got Coralize Me! lipstick that I've always wanted to try but never found.
I found it just in time, I've read on Ery's blog that it's soon going to be discontinued so I'm really happy I found the very last piece!
I also found an eyeshadow brush that I've been searching for a long a time.
Did rude SA ever stopped you from buying?

Last but not least, my newest pairs of Pretty Ballerinas!
This is my favorite brand of flats, I was randomly watching the window of a shoe shop when I saw these.
I said to my dad: "Those looks like Pretty Ballerinas!". I then realized they actually were Pretty Ballerinas, so I screamed like a Twilight fan and bought them straight away.
Do you like flats?

I think we should try to make this world a better place with what we do. I don't think that everybody should volunteer in a poor country -even if I strongly admire who does it- or something like this. But I'm sure that doing your job, whatever that is, with passion and with a positive attitude could make a difference.

I really hope I'll be able to do a job I'll be really passionate about.
